Truck looks great! I like the chrome grill but I'm really not picky, I like all the different f150's with different options. If you ever plan on going offroad stick with the 18" wheels otherwise 20's are fine. I prefer 18's due to the odd offroad hunting trip that would make a mess of the 20"s and the better tire selection that is out there, plus I live in pothole city. Nice job on the truck!

Plastidip wheels to anthracite grey probably.

Going to clean up the rear, take the leer logo and dealer logo off

I agree with another poster, you need ISU plates on that. I am trying to convince the wife to let me get the new ones Texas just put out, but going from $50 a year plate to $300 has been tough to convince. Nice looking ride...I hope there was green equipment planting in that field!

Did the taillight painting mod. One turned out great and the other I didn't spend enough time cleaning the glue out. A syringe was the best tool for doing this.

Far as the cap/topper goes I have an ARE Z Series and love it. Paint match is great, fit and finish is great, no issues. It is a bit expensive, but I have it on nearly year round and it makes the truck far more useful for me. I preferred the ARE over the Leer due to the hidden hinges on the rear glass. I think Leer also makes a cap with the side windows without a exterior gasket, makes it look super sleek.

If youre handy with wiring skip the 12v dome light and wire in your own LED's. I sorta wish I would have got the Yakima rails installed, but havent exceeded the capacity of the truck yet to use a roof rack.

Hello from Des Moines, I've got a 2009 FX4. Yours doesn't seem to have nearly as much rake as mine does, even before you added the topper.

Looks good! Did you order the cap with two different side windows? I like the fact that you can open the driver's side.

As far as tires and worrying about the correction, you haven't gone much larger than what it had on originally from the factory. The next size they could put in the computer to keep everything in line anyway is based on the configuration of the Raptor setup.
